The research reveals that while 97 % of organisations recognise they must transform their workplaces, over 60 % haven’ t even started the process.
The biggest barrier is lack of vision, with 55 % of IT leaders citing“ lack of a vision for how digital workplace transformation could support our strategic goals” as a top-three obstacle.“ Many of the organisations didn’ t have a very clear vision of the end state,” Rakshit reveals.“ They lack a very clear understanding of what this technology can bring to them. They basically get stuck with the existing state and think only incrementally on top of it.”
Competing priorities represent another major challenge, with 44 % of IT leaders ranking other IT initiatives taking precedence over digital workplace transformation among their top three barriers. Additionally, 44 % cite not understanding how to transform the digital workplace as a primary obstacle.
“ I predict every person within the company is going to have a digital twin which is helping them on the personal side and on the professional side”
